Frequently Asked

Should every senior engineer become a manager?

No. Management is a career change, not a promotion. The site's first guide helps you decide whether you want the actual job — meetings, people problems, less code — or just the title.

I was just promoted and have no training. Where do I start?

The ninety-day transition map. It sequences the essentials: stabilize one-on-ones first, learn feedback second, delegate your old projects third.

Is this useful for directors growing new managers?

Yes — the same material works top-down. The growing-your-reports track covers how to identify, prepare, and support a first-time lead.
